-Eternal Night Graveyard-
"Ugh fuck!" Mari shouted as she stumbled forward. "That's nothing like entering a Rift!" Reorienting herself, she looked around and saw that she was in what looked to be a foggy graveyard. "Sheesh, I wonder what kind of monsters I'm going to find here." Cracking her neck, Mari slips on her knuckle dusters befor exploring the area for any place she can make a temporary shelter. "What is this, a stone shed?" She muttered to herself upon finding a shed-sized crypt. Mari shrugged her shoulder before digging her fingers into the stone slab of a door and, with a grunt, pushed it to the side.
Pushing just wide enough to fit through, Mari walked inside and was immediately attacked by rotting zombies. Monsters that she easily dealt with by smashing their skulls with her fists, obliterating them in one hit. "Tch, this is why I hate undead monsters, most of them are so fragile." Shaking the blood and brain matter of her fists, Mari took out a lighter from her Storage ring and lit the torches she spotted on the walls. With the crypt now lit up, Mari looked around at the over a dozen zombies on the floor. Letting out a sigh, she crouched down and started harvesting the monster's core and intact organs before tossing the rest out of the stone structure.
With the room more spacious, Mari took out a knife from her Storage Ring and carved her initials onto the wall. "There, I now claim this stone shed as mine!" Nodding as she inspected her handiwork, Mari left the crypt to hunt down stronger monsters, making sure to push the stone lab back befor she left.
-Living Islands-
"Whoa!" Landing on his feet, Jack quickly lost balance and fell onto the sand. Once his eyes adjusted to the sudden brightness, he inspected his surroundings. "An island?" Sure enough, Jack finds himself on a sandy island. Squinting his eyes, he can make out vague outlines in the distance. Taking his bag off his back, he took out his binoculars and confirmed that what he saw off in the distance were, in fact, other islands. "Well, a good thing I know how to swim." Getting up from the ground, he dusted the sand off his clothes before storing his binoculars back into his bag and slinging it over his shoulder. "I should probably see what this island has to offer first." Turning away from the water, Jack made his way deeper onto the island.
-Breathing Mountain-
"What a beautiful view." Elizabeth stood at the edge of a cliff, marvelling at the sight of the sea of clouds. When, out of nowhere, a winged serpent suddenly burst out of the cloud sea, screeching as it flew above Elizabeth befor diving at her. Without moving her gaze, she pointed her revolver at the descending monster and fired three shots at it. A bullet each tore through its wings befor the last one split the serpent in two, its body landing next to the corpses of other dead monsters. "I should have brought a camera; father would have loved this view." Letting out a sigh, she turned around and walked towards the over a dozen monster corpses that littered the ground. "Now, let's see if there is anything worth harvesting."
-Red Dust Metal Rust Desert-
Crystal let out a heavy, resigned sigh." Why does it have to be another desert?" It's not like she hates desert or anything like that. In fact, most of the time, the monsters in these kinds of Rifts won't have any resistance to her ice magic, giving her an easier time dealing with them. "Of the six Rifts I've been to since entering Starage academy, four of them have to be deserts? What are the odds of that happening? Is it too much to ask for a change in scenery?" Crystal looked around at the icy landscape she had created; several dozen frozen monsters littered the area. Walking up to one, she let the ice thaw and started harvesting the monster befor heading to the next one.
-Fungal Forest-
"Out of my way!" Smashing a potion over the head of a humanoid fungal, setting it ablaze. Sera pushed the dying monster out of her way before squealing as she stuffed various rare mushrooms into her Storage pouch. "Blood Eye cap, Manticore Mane, Vampiric Button and is that a Crasina mushroom I see over there! To think there is a Rift where I can see all these rare mushrooms in one area! And best of all, there isn't a single bug in sight!" Sera happily continues harvesting the various mushrooms that catch her eye, completely disregarding the several dozen dead smoking fungal monsters surrounding her.
-Vibrant Jungle-
Blinking the dots out of his vision, Alex inspected his surroundings. "Sheesh, this Rift definitely lives up to its name." He muttered out loud, having to squint to look at some of the plants around him. "I don't even want to imagine how hard on the eyes this place would be without all this mist dulling the colours." Looking around, Alex spotted several faded grey flowers blooming on a vine beside him. Plucking the flower off the vine, Alex tossed it in his mouth and swallowed it. He patiently waited befor nodding when nothing happened. "Seems like my Iron Stomach Trait is still working."
-Scra Sr?"
"It's called the Ashrin flower. Typically causes extreme stomach pains, muscle spasms and vomiting shortly after being consumed."
-Srcra?-
"Of course, it was necessary. It's always good to test if my Traits are still working as intended." He answered while stuffing the rest of the flowers into a Storage pouch.
-Shr Shi?-
"No, they don't work on monsters."
-Sha?-
"They sell for a decent amount. Apparently, Ashrin flowers, along with other ingredients, can be combined to create a potent stomach medicine."
-Scra?-
"Silk, you can never have enough money. Especially with how expensive some of the things I buy can be."
-Scra-
He rolled his eyes. "You're the last person I want to hear that from. You know how expensive it is to supply you with your Mana potions constantly? It doesn't help that you prefer the higher quality and thus more expensive ones as well."
-Shra Sh...-
Alex shook his head. "Nah, no need to apologize. I don't particularly care about having a lot of money, nor see the point of hoarding it. I'm just trying to prove my point that you can never have enough money."
-Shia Shria-
"I'm glad you see my point. Now, first things first, we need to find a good place to build a shelter."
-Scr?-
Alex shook his head. "I'm not going to rely on my regeneration in this Rift, so it's not needed."
-Scre Scra?-
"I know I technically am allowed to bypass it like the other times, but seeing that there already are people willing to cause a ruckus on it, I'm going to hold off on relying on it for the test. I'll use this opportunity to see how well I fare when I'm not abusing my Regeneration trait."
-Scra Scra?-
"Yeah, I'll still use my regeneration and healing spells, I'll just try not to rely on them too much. And if needed, I can always start using healing spells earlier than I would normally to avoid hitting the Tracker's threshold." With that out of the way, Alex took his first step deeper into the jungle.
-Sha Sha?-
"Eh, I don't really have a specific location in mind. More like a tree to keep an eye out for."
-Sra Scra?-
"Oh, I don't think I need to describe it. I'm confident you'll understand as soon as you see it." Exploring the jungle, Alex encountered a few monsters that he easily dealt with; he didn't even bother harvesting their corpses as he continued searching for a specific kind of tree. After almost two hours of wandering, he finally spotted it. For most, the tree appears like a normal but slightly larger tree. But to Alex's eyes, it was filled to the brim with flowing blue energy.
-SCR!!!!!!!!!!!-
"I wouldn't say that exactly, but it is quite beautiful." The tree he was looking for is called a Lunar Soul tree, also known as the Arcane Heart tree. These trees grow in forested Rifts with a sufficient saturation of Mana. The larger the forest and the more Mana a Rift has, the more likely a Lunar Soul tree is to grow. They absorb Mana from corpses, the air and even the ground, before using their roots to distribute this Mana throughout a large area around them. Not only does this provide extra Mana to the nearby fauna and flora, but it also enriches the Mana quality of the area. Taking a closer look at the other nearby trees, Alex can spot the faint glow of Mana flowing through them as well. "Good, it looks like it's firmly connected to the rest of the jungle."
-Sra? Scria Scra!-
He nodded. "Yup, we'll make our shelter here. Don't you think this would be a wonderful place for our base of operation?"
-Skra!-
Alex let out a chuckle. "Glad you agree, but first, why don't we both top off our Mana before we start?"
-Skra!-
Placing his palm on the Lunar Soul tree's bark, he closed his eyes and focused on the Mana flowing through the tree befor using Mana Drain while directing some of it to Silk. Both of them greedily ate up the tree's Mana and befor either of them knew it, a few minutes had passed. Removing his hand from the tree, Alex opened his eyes and let out an impressed whistle. Even after taking enough Mana to fill the average person twice over, they barely made a dent in the tree's reserve. "From the looks of it, the tree would only need a few minutes to recover what we took. No wonder these things are sometimes called the Arcane Heart trees."
With their Mana filled up, Alex went around the area gathering long branches, smaller sticks and large leaves. With the items gathered, he took out some rope and a carving knife from his Storage pouch and started constructing a lean-to shelter next to the Lunar Soul tree. It took a few hours, due to the occasional monster attack, which set him back an hour or two, but eventually Alex managed to finish his temporary home. With that done, Alex dragged the corpse of a reptile monster he had killed over to his base. After chopping it up into pieces, Alex cooked it over a fire. He ate his meal with a side of some wild berries he found nearby while Silk fed on the Mana of the Lunar Soul Tree.
-Eternal Night Graveyard-
"You sure you saw it?" Asked a male student wearing armour.
"Yup," nodded a short male student. "I definitely say a crypt while scouting this area. We can use it as a temporary shelter for the night befor we head to the manor on top of the hill."
"How can you even tell it's night? The moon hasn't moved an inch since we got here."
"Eh, I'm just guessing. Initially, I only encountered undead variants of monsters. But, as time passed, I began to see spectral monsters more frequently. So I think that means we're approaching this Rift's equivalent of nighttime."
"Ah, that makes sense." The duo eventually arrived in front of the crypt that the short student had spotted earlier. They glanced at each other, then, after the short one nodded, the armour-wearing student gripped onto the stone door and slid it open. Glancing inside, the duo were met with the ghastly sight of a feminine figure facing away from them, crouching over a bloodied humanoid corpse. The figure is grabbing chunks of flesh from inside the body and shovelling it into her face. Hearing the door open, the figure turned around, allowing the duo to see her gore-covered face illumined by the dim light of the torches on the wall.

"Aaaaahhhh!/ Aaaaahhhh!" The duo immediately bolted away.
"What's with them?" Mari asked with a tilt of her head before she wiped her mouth with her arm. "Damn, too bad the only corpse intact enough for me to use was a zombie." What Mari is currently eating is a meal that her parents had taught her how to cook during one of their outings into a Rift. It involves finding an intact body of a monster and hollowing it out. Once the body is emptied and cleaned, you fill it with any stuffing you want. For Mari, it was a mixture of monster meat that didn't smell too bad, nuts she found near some trees that she crushed into tiny bits, a few mushrooms she picked up while exploring the area and some spices she packed inside her Storage ring. Once the monster's body is stuffed, you sew it closed and cook it over a fire for a few hours. Once sufficiently cooked, the meal is ready, so you can open up the body and help yourself to the mixture inside.
Once she finished her meal, Mari grabbed the corpse she was eating out of and dragged it out of the crypt. "Hmm, now that I think about it. Didn't Ma tell me to avoid using humanoid monsters when using the recipe? Something about societal norms and taboos? Eh, if I don't remember, it probably wasn't important, and if it was, I'll remember it eventually." She shrugged befor tossing what was left of the corpse into the grave she had dug up earlier. She originally dug it up expecting to find treasure because the tombstone had a crown on it, but was disappointed when she saw only a dead body inside. Now she uses the dug-up grave as a makeshift garbage can. "There," She dusted the dirt off her hands. "With that done, it's time to prepare for the big hunt!"
Mari might not know which Rift she is in, nor much about the Rift itself, besides the obvious, like it being a graveyard, so she should expect undead monsters. But if there is one thing Mari is confident about, it is that she knows a Boss area when she sees one. "I wonder if the others are here with me, or did they get put into different Rifts?" She glanced towards the large manor on top of the hill—the perfect location for a Boss area. "If they are here, then I'm sure I'll meet them there." She said with a wide grin, eyes filled with excitement for the potentially big fight she is about to enter.
-Living Islands-
"Phew! That fish monster really surprised me there. A good thing it struggled to fight against the current." Stepping onto the island, Jack shook off the excess water. "Hopefully, this island was better than the last." He let out an annoyed sigh. "I can't believe the island I arrived at had no clean water nor anything worth eating. It's just my luck that of all the possible islands, I landed on the inhospitable one. What are the chances of that happening?" He shook away his negative thoughts. "No matter! I'm sure this one is better." He finally inspected the island he is on. "A-a desert?"
Jack rubbed his eyes, and sure enough, when he opened them again, there was still a desert in front of him. "H-how is that even possible?" He shook his head. "What am I thinking? I'm in a Rift, of course, there can be an island that is just a large desert in the middle of an ocean." He looked around his surroundings befor glancing at the other islands in the distance. "Should I explore this island or risk going to a different one?" After a few minutes of pondering on what he should do, Jack came to a decision. Hardening his resolve, Jack walked deeper into the island and started his trek through the desert.
-Breathing Mountain-
"Hmm, so this mountain has four distinct areas, not three. A grassland as the base, a forest in the middle, a glacier at the top and interconnecting caves throughout." Elizabeth noted to herself as she rested against the cave wall. "The types of monsters I encounter also seem to vary depending on the area I find them in. Flying monsters at the bottom, plant variants in the forest, inorganic monsters with ice/snow affinity in the glacier and monsters with earth affinity in the caves." Finish resting, Elizabeth inspected her revolver, reloaded it befor getting up. "The caves make for good shelter from the elements. I'll continue exploring the cave systems to find a suitable area to establish a base of operations." Slinging her bag on, she made her way out of the cave. "But first, I'll gather some food and water in the forest area."
-Red Dust Metal Rust Desert-
"What are you doing?" Ever since Crystal entered the Rift, she has been wandering around the desert while killing any monsters she comes upon. The only difficulty she had encountered during her time in the Rift was when she had to go around an area to avoid the giant metallic elemental she spotted, which she identified as the Boss monster, the Razor Storm Elemental. Luckily, Crystal had managed to avoid the Boss monster without it noticing her. The Razor Storm Elemental is not a monster that she is confident she can face alone.
After hours of walking, Crystal had spotted something off in the distance. Making her way towards what she saw, Crystal was surprised to find a cluster of mostly intact houses. What she also found was another student whom Crystal had identified as her classmate Wendy, crouched down, scooping up sand into her hands. Which brings us back to the present. "Scooping up sand," Wendy answered after checking who it was.
"Why? We're in a desert, so it's not like sand would be hard to come across. Even if the sand here is worth gathering, I'm sure you're better off waiting until the test is almost over befor filling your bags with it."
"I'm going to eat the sand, so I might as well do it now."
"Why?"
"An upperclassman said if I ever find myself in a Rift filled with red sand during this test, that I should eat some of it."
"W-what?! Why would anyone do that?" Wendy paused right befor she stuffed her mouth with the red sand in her hands.
"You know, now that I think about it, I did ask them that, but they never answered my question."
"Then don't you think the upperclassman of yours might have been lying to you?" Wendy turned to look at Crystal, her brow furrowed in confusion.
"Why do they do that?"
"I don't know. Maybe as a prank or hazing ritual?"
"Hmm," Wendy let the sand spill between her fingers before rubbing her chin, thinking over what Crystal had said. "Yeah, that does sound like something they would do." She stood up before dusting the sand off her shorts and legs. "Just in case, I'll use your advice and gather some near the end of the test."
"That's good?" That was all Crystal could think to say, thoroughly confused about what had just happened. "So did you find anything worthwhile around here?" She asked, trying to quickly move past the topic of eating sand. Wendy made a so-so gesture with her hand.
"Eh, kind of. The homes here are a perfect shelter from the elements, but they don't offer much besides that. "Wendy pointed in a direction. "You can also find a well filled with what looks to be drinkable water over there. And that's pretty much it." She said with a grimace.
"Any source of food?" Crystak asked with a frown.
"Besides some empty makeshift farms buried under the sand, I haven't found any," Wendy answered while shaking her head. Crystal swore under her breath while Wendy nodded in agreement. They both let out a resigned sigh.
"Looks like I'll be eating spiders and scorpians until I find something more appetizing."
"You entered something edible?"
"Yeah, I killed some spider and scorpion monsters while wandering around the desert."
"Damn, I've only encountered elementals since entering the Rift. I haven't seen a single edible monster this whole time."
"I'm willing to share what I got with you."
"You will?"
"Yeah, it's not like they are worth much, and if we team up, we'll be able to take down stronger monsters. Maybe even a Boss monster."
"Awesome! I've been starving for the last couple of hours." Wendy cheered. "I'm looking forward to working with you, partner." She extended her hand out to Crystal.
"I'm looking forward to working with you as well." Crystal grabbed the outstretched hand and shook it; the duo looked up and smiled at each other.
-Fungal Forest-
"Hands off my Golden Crown mushroom!" Sera screamed while socking a canine-shaped fungal monster in the face with her potion-covered fist. Upon impact with her fist, the monster's head exploded in a burst of fire. Sera pushed the creature to the ground, and despite missing its head, the fungal canine continued to struggle to free itself from her grasp. She plunged her hand into the monster's chest, where its heart should be located. Ripping the core out, the fungal monster finally ceased moving. "Hot hot hot hot hot!" Jumping off the beast, Sera dropped the core into her satchel and pulled out a light blue potion. She downed half of it before pouring the other half on her potion-covered hand, extinguishing the flames and neutralizing the potion.
"Phew," She wiped the sweat of her brow. "Nick was right, I didn't feel the heat at all, nor did my hand suffer any damage from the fire." She inspected her completely intact hand. "I think it is nice of him to design the potion for Alex, but I don't really see him needing it." Sera smacked her lips. "I'm still impressed by how tasty Nick can make potions." Stepping over the fungal canine, Sera walked over to the Golden Crown Mushroom growing at the base of the tree-like mushroom, reached down and plucked it out of the ground before gently storing it away in one of her pouches. Looking around her surroundings, Sera finally noticed how dark it was getting.
"Maybe I should find some shelter before it gets too la-Gasp!- Is that Ice Shroom! I didn't even know they could grow in these kinds of temperatures!" She gushed when she spotted the blue ice-like mushroom off in the distance. "Wait, nooo!"She screamed when she noticed a hulking humanoid fungal monster heading towards Ice Shroom. "Hey! Get away from that!" She screamed to get the attention of the fungal monster that was about to step on the rare mushroom. Prepping her potions in hand, Sera charged at the large monster with the intent of saving the frigal mushroom before it could get damaged.
-Vibrant Jungle-
-Scra?-
"Hmm? Oh, I'm carving some enchantments onto it." Alex is currently sitting on his knees, hunching over a block of wood he carved out of a fallen tree earlier and dragged under his shelter. With his carving tool in one hand and a platinum tiara in the other, Alex gently etched the patterns in his mind onto the piece of jewelry.
-Shai Sha?-
"Yeah, I finally found a good use for this thing."
-Sra?-
"No, I'm not going to use it myself."
-Scha?-
Alex paused while furrowing his brow. "Why would you think I'll give this to Mari?" Alex began etching again. "She wouldn't even like it anyway. If anything, she would prefer a set of new knuckdusters instead. She's been complaining about her current ones breaking down."
-Scria?-
"Don't ask me, I don't know how that works either."
-Shai Scia Scri?-
"I'm going to trade with Lilial with this."
-Sha?-
"Not sure. What Lilial has to offer is typically decided by the GM using an item table. Can't really say how that will translate to real life."
-Scacra?-
"There are a lot of things she can offer that I would want. Some off the top of my head would be some rare Boss cores, materials that can only be found deep underwater and maybe even one of her golden scales. If I'm lucky, she might even be willing to trade some artifacts her Tidecaller priestess had offered to her."
-Scrca?-
"I'm enchanting the tiara to make it more valuable to her. Despite her love of aesthetically pleasing things, Lilial also appreciates that they are well-crafted. So if the item has practical uses, it would be worth more in her eyes. Though looking pretty is the bare requirement."
-Sca?-
"Yeah, she would be able to tell what enchantments it is. So I can't just add complex patterns on the tiara and call it a day."
-Shaic?-
"I'm adding an enchantment my older self remembers from reading about in one of the REALMS source books."
-Scra Shc Sca?-
"That's not how that works. I can't just carve any old enchantment from older self memories, especially the higher-tier ones."
-Sha?-
Alex let out a sigh. "For one, and it pains me to admit this, but I'm not that good of an Enchanter."
-Shar?! Schra?-
"That's only because I'm cheating and making use of my Inner Library Trait along with my Arcane Sight and my older self's memories to appear more skilled than I actually am. Without them, I'm just as good an Enchanter as any of my classmates in my Enchanting 101 class. Why do you think I even bothered taking that class?"
-Shca?-
Alex rolled his eyes. "No, it's not so I can feel superior to them. It's genuinely because I need the class to improve as an Enchanter. I can technically skip ahead in the courses and still pass with high marks. But all that would do is weaken my foundation as an Enchanter in the future while accomplishing very little in the present." He shook his head. "No, it's better if I take things slow and learn like a beginner. The second reason ties back to the first one. I'm not skilled enough as an Enchanter to use the more complex enchantments, even if I already know what they look like."
-Scha Shca?-
"Imagine you're a slightly skilled but beginner sculptor, and that you have a box filled with finished sculptures. The sculptures in the box range from simple ones, such as basic shapes, to more complex ones, like one of a human body. You can easily copy the basic sculptures in the box with little to no issues. However, as the sculptures you try to copy gradually increase in complexity, you start encountering problems. Let's say you're trying to copy a sculpture of an apple. You're skilled enough to make yours look the same on the outside, but sudden movement of your finished product will cause it to collapse, unlike the original, which is sturdy enough to be tossed around. Hmm, maybe this isn't the best analogy. Well, do you at least see what I'm trying to say?"
-Sh sh-
"That's good because I'm having trouble thinking of other comparisons I can use to help what I'm trying to convey."
-Skia-
"Hmm, yeah, you have a point, I guess being mentally connected to me would help." Alex shook his head to get rid of his stray thoughts. "Well, to sum up what I'm trying to say. Even if I know what the enchanments look like from my older self's memories, it won't matter if I'm not skilled enough of an Enchanter to make use of them. So I'm taking classes to build up my foundation and skill sets to take advantage of all the resources I have available to me."
-Ski Skh?-
"Oh, I'm enchanting Tidecaller’s Serenade to the tiara."
-Shca?-
"Yup, it is."
-Sca?! Skr Sa Sckr?-
"You don't have to worry about that. Despite being one of Tidecaller's sacred songs, its effect isn't that strong. When used normally, Tidecaller’s serenade only calms the emotions and thoughts of those around the caster. As an enchantment, the song improves the wearer's voice while singing. It's a bit like auto-tune from my older self's memories."
-Ska Sca?-
"Well, because it's the only one of the Tidecaller's sacred songs I can successfully apply with my current skill level as an Enchanter. It also helps that it's on the weaker side of Tidecaller's sacred songs, so I don't have to worry about sabotaging the other students by giving Lilial access to it."
-Shi Scka?-
"Why would enchanting the tiara with Tidecaller's serenade make it more valuable to Lilial despite how weak it is?"
-Skia-
"Because even if Lilial isn't the most devoted siren to Tidecaller, she still worships them as their goddess. The reason she might be willing to give away some artifacts from her Tidecaller priestesses is that they don't actually have any relation to her goddess. However, unlike those, this tiara will have a genuine song of their deity. Something they have records of but don't have the skills to create themselves."
-Shk Scak?-
"Yup, not only will this tiara look pretty, but it will also work as an idol of the deity she worships. So hopefully all of that will make this valuable enough in Lilial's eyes where she would be willing to trade me what I want for it."
-Sca Sh Si?-
Alex paused his etching, a frown forming as he thought about Silk's question. "Huh, I never considered that she might not have anything I want."
-Scra?-
"I'm," he thought about it. "I'm not sure what I would do then or what that would mean for the tiara. I doubt I would remove the enchantment because that would ruin the tiara and make it useless. Tidecaller’s Serenade also isn't similar to any other enchantments, so altering it into something else isn't an option."
-Ska Sca Sa-
"Hmm, yeah, I guess saving it to give it to the real Lilial is always an option."
-Saka Saca?-
"Hmm, I doubt that will happen. Lilial is too prideful to try to steal or forcefully take the tiara if I don't give it to her. She was going to get something similar anyway."
-Shc?-
"I wouldn't worry about the priestesses either. They are too devoted to Lilial to defy her and too passive to act without her permission."
-Sh Shi Sh-
"Hmm, you have a point. I'll make sure to prepare for the scenario that does happen before I go searching for her. -Yawn-" Pausing his work, Alex tried to rub the sleep out of his eyes. "You can go ahead and sleep, Silk. I doubt I'll be done with this any time soon."
-Sa Sha. Ski Sci?-
Alex slowly blinked, his tired mind trying to process Silk's question. "Didn't we just have dinner?"
-Sca Shia-
"You're still hungry?"
-Sci-
"Hmm, ok. You -Yawn- can come out at feed on the Lunar Soul tree for a bit. Just be careful and don't take too long, your kind aren't designed to be out of their host for too long. If you notice anything odd, come back immediately and take shelter in my back before informing me what you found."
-Skia!-
Ignoring the unpleasant feeling of Silk exiting his back and crawling down his body. Alex reached for the Storage pouch beside him, took out an Energizer and downed it before continuing his work on etching Tidecaller’s Serenade on the tiara. After an hour, Alex felt Silk slowly crawl back up his body before he felt the familiar feeling of a chill running down his spine. With Silk firmly secured in his back once again, Alex continued his work as Silk's content feelings flowed through his mind. After another couple of hours, Alex finally finished etching the enchantment on the tiara. Pleased with how it turned out, Alex stored it away in one of his Storage pouches before promptly collapsing onto the block of wood.
